A career-forward curriculum targets the long-term goal ofpersistence—the personal capacity of students to continue towards an academic goal—byframing experiences with the content, context and specific skills of working in the target careerfield.

Thepractice of using peer assessment is common because of its use in assessing an individual’ssuccess and performance [1-3]. When peer assessment is used as a tool to determine theacademic efforts of a student, it is important to understand the implicit processes that impactsuch decisions [4]. This paper is concerned with identifying trends in peer assessments that arerelated to the race and gender of the rater and ratee involved.Others have studied this question with mixed results concerning the potential role bias may playin impacting ratings and how bias can

A seminal work describing these differences between AEand routine expertise was provided by [5] in which two expert historians were studied and thecharacteristics of adaptive expertise identified.Based on a contemporary literature review, four characteristics of an adaptive expert wereidentified by Fisher and Peterson in 2001 [7]. These four identified constructs of adaptivenesswere used to develop a framework for the assessment of AE: (1) multiple perspectives, (2)metacognition, (3) goals and beliefs, and (4) epistemology.

IntroductionGiven clear evidence of disparities in educational attainment, much importance has been placedon increasing use of inclusive teaching to help close this so-called achievement gap [1]–[4]. Inscience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines, deliberate inclusive practicemay reduce the “leaving” phenomenon where those underrepresented amongst STEM majorssuch as women and minoritized racial groups would otherwise fail to complete their STEMdegree program [5]–[7]. For example, active learning has been shown to improve learning gainsand reduce failure rates especially among underrepresented minority (URM) students [2].Similarly, current recommendations
